Recess appointment of union radical could mean backdoor card check

Big Labor played such an essential role in delivering the White House to President Obama that the head of the influential government workers union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, told The Washington Times after the election that the union was expecting "payback."

Payback's name is H. Craig Becker.

That's who President Obama nominated for a seat overseeing federal labor laws on the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Mr. Becker's record as a top lawyer for both the Service Employees International Union and the AFL-CIO is so troubling that even Democrats such as Sen. Blanche Lincoln of Louisiana and Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska thought someone else should be found for the job. Though the Senate has consistently refused to confirm Mr. Becker, the president has no intention of abandoning Big Labor's champion.

... Worse, Mr. Becker's appointment would not mark the end of the payback. An executive order Mr. Obama signed last year will go into effect soon, requiring federal contractors to have project labor agreements that effectively shut out the 85 percent of construction workers who are nonunionized and requiring contractors to make contributions to union pension funds. In other words, Big Labor will cash in while taxpayers are stuck with bills some 20 percent higher.

Obama is and was a MARXIST in college.

Here is an interview from someone who knew him: send to everyone you know if you wish to spread the (blocked) word:

The full interview is devastating.

Too bad Fox News ignored Dr Drew in 2008 when he contacted them.

We now know the details of Barry’s Occidental years.

He was an avowed and committed Marxist.

plus if they can do card check by fiat it will take Arlen Specter off the hook

I thought the pay back was the destruction of Toyota.

yep, another end-run around congress. Plus he seems to intentionally want to give the middle finger to the public and our balance of powers.

That payback is chump change. If they can make you buy health insurance, then they can also make everyone buy a car from GM....helps the economy, y’know....

The BIG PAYOFF will be when the confiscate ALL OUR 401(k) and IRA funds to give to the unions for THEIR retirement......................
